Overwhelming Strength
"Exam time is over!"
The 30-minute exam time has passed, and all groups except Kirishima, Aoyama, Ashido, and Kaminari have passed.
"Damn it! Cementoss Master is just too amazing!" Kirishima slammed his fist on the ground, his face full of regret.
Bakugo glanced at Kirishima with disdain, "Pro Hero like Cementoss, who can only create cement for passive defense, can be easily defeated."
"That's because Bakugo can fly, but I can't!" Kirishima shouted, rubbing his temples. "As expected, I'm still not strong enough. I must practice harder during summer vacation!"
"My stomach hurts so much." Yuga Aoyama clutched her stomach, her face covered in cold sweat.
In the battle between Kirishima and Aoyama, they initially didn't take Cementoss Master seriously. Kirishima relied on brute force to continuously bombard the several layers of cement walls that Cementoss had built with his feet, while Aoyama put his hands behind his head, adopted a strange posture, and released rays from his stomach with a pleasant smile.
It could be said that Pro Hero have strong endurance. This continuous bombardment lasted for more than twenty minutes. While Kirishima and his team were feeling exhausted, Cementoss on the other side was still in good spirits. Just when Kirishima finally thought of changing his attack method, Cementoss blocked them off from all sides. In the end, they didn't have the strength to break through that barrier.
Asui walked over with her hands hanging down and said, "Kirishima- chan, there's really no need to completely destroy the wall. For Cementoss- sensei, the most important thing isn't physical strength, but building materials. As long as you can use your Quirk to turn those readily available materials into unusable junk, you should have a chance to defeat him."
"Oh right, I never expected that!" Kirishima clapped his hands as if suddenly realizing something.
"Kirishima, if Mr. Cementoss gave you a chance, the principal really pushed us to the brink!" Kaminari shoulder and lamented, "I didn't see the principal once during the entire exam. All I did was dodge those collapses that seemed to come out of nowhere, and in the end, I even got lost in that situation!"
At this moment, Kirishima asked Bakugo with some curiosity, "Speaking of which, Bakugo, weren't you fighting All Might? How did you win?"
"Tch!" Bakugo spat dismissively, looking at Izuku Midoriya, who was lying on the bed, laughing and talking with the Recovery Girl and Uraraka, with an unpredictable expression.
Half an hour ago.
If Ashido and Kaminari faced despair that gradually arose from not seeing the end, then Midoriya and Bakugo had to confront that despair head-on.
Of course, if it were a fully undefeated All Might, no one would be able to defeat him, let alone two mere students. Therefore, in order to maintain relative fairness, All Might wore special weights on his hands and feet. He had to put two-thirds of his strength into these weights in order to maintain his balance. Even so, All Might with only one-third of his strength was far superior to ordinary Pro Hero.
All Might —the name stirs a wave of excitement whenever it's mentioned by ordinary citizens, for they know he's Symbol of Peace; but when criminals lurking in the shadows utter it, they tremble with fear, knowing that encountering All Might foreshadows their fate.
Bakugo and Midoriya are now experiencing this feeling, albeit from the perspective of being heroes.
At first, Bakugo had no intention of cooperating with Midoriya. Therefore, as soon as he entered the exam hall, he began to look for All Might's whereabouts. However, he was always accompanied by a nagging guy who kept advocating for their escape.
Midoriya, deeply admiring All Might and driven by certain motives, had no intention of harming All Might and only wanted to escape. Bakugo, not wanting to explain, simply continued his search for All Might at his own pace.
Bakugo couldn't stand his negative attitude, and before he even started fighting All Might, he had already thrown his fist at Midoriya!
Run away? What a joke! That's All Might! Even if Bakugo is confident enough in his future and believes that he will one day defeat All Might and become number one, he still knows his own limitations!
Even if All Might's speed is suppressed, it's still beyond their current reach. No matter how they try to escape, they will ultimately have to confront him head-on!
There was no time for them to fight amongst themselves. To announce his arrival, All Might threw a heavy punch. The force of the punch swept from the exit to the center where they were, destroying all the houses along the way and leaving only traces of mud that looked like they had been shoveled!
"Wow, All Might is incredibly strong!"
Bakugo quickly got this idea after fighting All Might. In the blink of an eye, All Might was already beside him, holding him firmly with his hand. No matter how much Bakugo bombarded All Might's cheeks, All Might wouldn't let go. Then—he slammed Bakugo to the ground!
On the other side, the worthless Deku he despised seemed to be stunned, showing no reaction whatsoever when All Might arrived, letting him fly away with a flick of his wrist.
Sure enough, good-for-nothings are unreliable.
With this thought in mind, Bakugo unleashed a flashbang at point-blank range on All Might, rolled out from under him as All Might closed his eyes, found a suitable spot to catch his breath, and then charged forward again!
Once again, he was subdued the instant he charged at All Might and pinned to the ground. No matter how confident he was in normal times, he felt powerless in the face of such an overwhelming disparity.
Just when Bakugo thought the battle was over and they couldn't possibly win, that good-for-nothing Deku, whom he had always looked down on, suddenly threw a punch at All Might, pulling Bakugo out from under All Might and using the footwork he had learned from Bakugo to carry him away.
Bakugo's hair, which had long since regained its spiky shape and each strand represented his pride, refused to let himself be saved by that good-for-nothing. He nudged Midoriya's shoulder with his elbow, trying to make him let go!
The two of them fell down at the same time in the alley.
Next, Bakugo and Midoriya started arguing in the alley. Bakugo yelled at him, but--
"Don't yell at me! It's because of this that people can't communicate with you!" Midoriya said angrily. "We're in the middle of a battle! Can't you consider the situation? Can't you learn from the class president?!"
"Let me learn from that guy Jilan!" Bakugo's pupils Bakugo. That's right, Jilan had already passed the exam, and was probably watching the surveillance footage and laughing at him right now!
That bastard is probably laughing at me for saying I'd settle things with him in this exam, but instead I'm throwing a tantrum for no reason!
"Jilan Jiyu, you're watching me, aren't you! But I won't let you get away with this!" Bakugo said through gritted teeth.
"Kacchan, you..."
"Stop arguing! Listen to me!" Bakugo grabbed Midoriya's chest roughly, his eyes filled with rage. "You want to win, don't you? Fine, from now on, you'll follow my orders! No matter what, we must win this battle!"
While All Might was searching for them, Bakugo the initiative and attracted All Might's attention. But at this moment, Midoriya had already come up behind All Might, holding the gauntlet that Bakugo used to store sweat. He pulled the ring and unleashed a maximum-power explosion at close range!
All Might couldn't ignore this attack either, so he raised his hands to protect his face. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bakugo and Midoriya desperately ran towards the exit!
Since All Might will stand in their way no matter what, they'll restrict All Might movements and prevent him from hindering them. If he catches up again, they'll use their gauntlets to deliver another blow!
Bakugo's vision was wonderful, but All Might didn't give them much time and quickly caught up with the two of them. Before Bakugo could even pull the ring, All Might knocked him away again, sending his body crashing heavily into a nearby building!
As Bakugo roared and charged out of the building again, All Might used Midoriya, whom he was holding with his other hand, as a weapon, slamming him down on Bakugo and then stomping on him.
